The Best Damn Poll In The Land's 2011 Week ELEVEN FBS Top 25
Well, as Boyz II Men said years ago, "we've come to the end of the road, and I still can't let you go." Here we are, another irregular, regular season firmly in the books with bowl games two weeks ahead, strategically placed just far enough apart that we'll be dying for Sun Belt vs MAC games by the time they get here. Such is the college football fan's disease.
It's an ugly, unceremonious end to a great collegiate American past time. If I was the dealer at a hold em table and wound up with 5 Aces in my hand, it'd look less rigged than this season.
And as Counting Crows said in probably their best song of all time, Long December, "maybe this year will be better than the last." Assuredly it won't have much to live up to in 2012. One last time this calendar year, the fans have spoken. As per usual, they got it far more right than the lobbyist, slanted media. Hope you enjoyed the ride.
